Engine Weight/Size FYI    version 00.02.04
            by Dave Williams, dave.williams@chaos.lrk.ar.us

  It isn't really a Frequently Asked Question, so I'll call it an 
"FYI", For Your Information.  This was originally a list I'd compiled 
long ago on paper, then moved to the computer, then posted on the net 
as a response to some questions.  It wound up being popular, but since 
I didn't keep track of the origin of the data there was some debate as 
to how accurate the list was.  This new improved list has origins 
where I could find references; what doesn't have an origin is stuff 
from my original list.

  You'll sometimes see more than one weight listed.  Some weights are 
for just a long block, some are complete and ready to run, and of 
course everything in between.  Some engines varied in weight during 
their production runs - for example, some later Chevy V8s use thinwall 
blocks and aluminum heads.

  As of version 94.06.01 engine dimensions have been added.  Since the
shape can vary quite a bit within the maximum limits this data isn't
very useful, but many people have requested it.

  As of version 00.02.04 transmission weights have been added.

  If you have any figures you'd like to contribute, please send them to
